One description runs as follows: "Larva, onisciform, 0.9 of an inch in 

 length, head very small ; second segment rather large, third and fourth pro- 

 gressively larger then gradually decreasing in width to the anal segment ; con- 

 structions between the segments very shallow, head pinkish; dorsal area pale 

 pink, shading off laterally into pale greenish ; the anal segment entirely pale 

 greenish ; three series of similar dots on each side, no prominent markings 

 whatever, but gradually becomes dark green before pupating. Pupa, very 

 short and thick, dark brown streaked with darker brown ; head case well 

 marked ; the abdomen very slightly constricted behind the thorax, posteriorly 

 much rounded." 



The other description is: "Larva very stout, but is much constricted in 

 the middle so that the circumference is greatest about the y^ or 4''^ and 9* 

 or lo'i^ segments, varying a little with position. It moves as freely backwards 

 as forwards, the whole ventral surface adhering closely to the branch, as that 

 head and legs are seldom visible. The colour is clear green, with or without a 

 brown bar on each side of the i o''^ segment. Pupa, thick and short, humped on 

 the thorax and somewhat constricted behind; light brown motded with darker." 

 When the larva were found there were no ants with them, "but after they became 

 pupae they were discovered by a nest of common house ants, and were imme- 

 diately put under a guard and carefully watched." The drawings of the latter 

 larva by Sw^inhoe very closely resemble that which I give of former species.

The $ shown in the illustration was caught by me near Batavia (14); in 

 life the eyes were light green. Snellen, judging by the nerve system of the 

 specimen, the only one known to him in natura, considers that this species 

 should be brought under the genus Iraota Hew., although it looks like a 

 Jolaus species, and Heavitson regards it as such, and illustrates it accordingly. 

 The cf is unknown to me.
